Thrivent client updates: 2027 total payout, Live Generously T-shirt & tax documents

The winning design for the 2027 Live Generously T-shirt is in. More than 46,000 Thrivent clients and others from around the country cast votes for their favorite design in an online voting campaign in mid-August, selecting the new circular design with a heart in the middle.

The new design, on the new teal-colored T-shirts, will start shipping in Thrivent Action Team Kits^® in January. Thrivent clients with membership are eligible to lead Thrivent Action Teams to support a fundraiser, service activity or educational event.

Learn how you can support a cause you care about through Thrivent Action Teams. The new T-shirt design won’t launch until 2027, but if you have a Thrivent Action Team available this year, there’s still time to participate.

Thrivent will provide a record $605 million total payout in 2027, reflecting its continued commitment to delivering value to clients. The payout includes $461 million in dividends and $144 million in nonguaranteed policy enhancements, such as additional credited interest and reduced fees.¹

The 2027 total payout represents another year of increased value for clients with membership, continuing a multi-year trend of payout growth. Since 2021, Thrivent has more than doubled its annual total payout and will surpass the $600 million threshold for the first time. Approximately 96% of Thrivent members own products included in this year’s payout.
For more than a century, Thrivent has helped clients build financial security through strong products, trusted guidance and financial stewardship.

“The 2027 total payout reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering value to our clients,” says David Royal, Thrivent’s chief financial and investment officer. “It’s made possible by our financial strength, disciplined management and long-term perspective.”

Clients with membership whose products are included in the 2027 total payout will be notified the month their payout is available. If you have questions, contact your Thrivent financial advisor or call 800-847-4836.

Two organizations with deep Wisconsin roots are teaming up to make an impact, on and off the field. Thrivent and the Green Bay Packers have entered a multi-year partnership, naming Thrivent as the Official Financial Services Partner of the Green Bay Packers. The partnership connects Thrivent with millions of fans through gameday and digital experiences, as well as the Packers Everywhere fan network.

They will make an impact off the field through Game Changing Players, a new community impact program recognizing Wisconsin nonprofits and the volunteers and community leaders who support them. Organizations serving areas such as human services, homelessness and animal welfare are being featured through gameday experiences, videoboard recognition and coverage on packers.com, helping raise awareness of their work.

The partnership reflects their shared Wisconsin roots and belief in giving back, and a commitment to helping people and communities thrive. Thrivent and the Packers kicked off their partnership with a volunteer event at Lambeau Field, where more than 100 Thrivent and Packers employees packed 1,000 snack bags for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Wisconsin.
